As is, I find it hard to disagree that the offense will need to be better in the playoffs. Such a new team coming together... why wouldn't a fan with any shred of optimism expect that the offense can grow, gel, evolve, etc. into an offense that can better assist the defense in beating playoff teams?

The offense can grow and mature and so forth, but the concern is about Alex Smith. We know it's a new system with a rookie tackle and young receivers and hopefully the play calling evolves, etc.... the 49ers had a pretty damn good defense in 2011 and still gave up 32 points to the Saints. That happens in the playoffs these days. It'll probably happen once if not twice vs the Broncos. I don't think the entire offense is up to that task yet, and there's no reason to think it should be.... but, once the offense improves, is Alex Smith up for it?
